AWS Transfer Family announces built-in support for PGP decryption of files uploaded over SFTP, FTPS or FTP to Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS. Customers can now configure and automate decryption of files that are encrypted using PGP keys by their users before upload, making it easy to meet their data protection and compliance requirements when exchanging sensitive data with third parties.
AWS Transfer Family provides managed workflows that allow you to create, automate and monitor linear sequence of steps for post-upload processing of files received via AWS Transfer Family. With this launch, you can use a new, built-in and fully managed workflow step to automatically decrypt uploaded files using PGP keys. You can configure your PGP decryption tasks with just a few clicks in the AWS console, without writing any code or licensing third-party solutions. Using AWS Secrets Manager, you can setup a single PGP key to decrypt all files received via AWS Transfer Family, or specify user-specific PGP keys. In addition, you can monitor and audit your file decryption tasks using Amazon CloudWatch logs.
AWS Transfer Family support for built-in PGP decryption is available in all AWS Regions where the service is available. To get started with this new feature in your AWS account, visit AWS Management Console. To learn more, visit the managed workflows documentation.
